senator lindsey graham, who was one of the main critics told me tonight her withdrawal is not the end of the controversy. he told me the administration is still inexplicably stonewalling, "and we still want some answers." it's not known who the president will now nominate to replace hillary clinton, but republicans and democrats said tonight the nominee who would be most easily confirmed is massachusetts senator john kerry. >> pelley: bob, thank you very much. busy at the white house today. the speaker of the house met with the president to try to break the budget deadlock. in about two weeks, as you know, most americans will see a big tax increase, and there will be massive spending cuts unless another way is found to reduce the red ink in the budget. mr. obama wants to raise taxes on the top 2% of americans, and that would include married couples earning more than $250,000. nancy cordes is at the capitol tonight. nancy? >> reporter: scott, the president and speaker boehner met at the white house this evening for about 50 minutes. we're told the conversation was frank, but before he

lindsey graham is utterly terrified as the senior senator from alabama against someone. i'm not surprised by something like that. the question is if they want tovp an investigation, vote to have one. let's have the investigation, and shut the hell up until the investigation is final and done. then if there's a problem, say there's a problem. >> quickly, rachel, can they get to the bottom of who changed the talking points? is that something -- again, i was watching "morning joe," and there was a difference of opinion if you can pinpoint that kind of information. >> i think they'll keep asking questions until they do get an answer. i think it is likely that more information will emerge about this. you know, the controversy over susan rice is so particularly interesting because the charges that are flying around have gotten so personal. we heard the president call out senators mccain and graham by name at the news conference last week and saying if you want to come after someone, come after me. they answered by saying, all right, mr. president, we'll come after you. >> than
